Rice is the main food in Tamil Nadu. Most of the people of Tamil Nadu eat rice twice a day. Hence the requirement of rice will be more in Tamil Nadu. Knowing the essentiality of the rice, Tamil Nadu is distributing free rice through the ration shops. Now a day’s people in city and towns prefer wheat based food. Most of the people have changed from rice to wheat as per the advice of the doctors since majority of the people have Diabeties. Apart from this North Indian population is going up in Tamil Nadu. Their important food is wheat. In the recent times foods like chapathis and rotis have become popular in Tamil Nadu. There is a great demand for these foods in the restaurants.
In this situation, the Tamil Nadu government has decided to bring slight change in the food culture of Tamil Nadu. It is understood that the government will be giving importance to rice and at the same time promote wheat.
When asked a government official regarding this, he said: Government is considering bringing wheat as an option. For example, if a consumer buys 20 kgs of rice he will be given 15kgs of rice and 5 kg of wheat as per his wish. This will be free of cost.
